Go has a heavy runtime, including both a garbage collector and a userland scheduler. Those features both make it inappropriate for some applications where you would use c, and also…

42 videos on his car review channel plus 13 videos on his main channel (a few might be crossposted) plus a couple tesla reviews from several years earlier than the others. So 50+.

it's maybe negligible compared to the code-size bloat of web applications, but delivering large libraries over the network with only limited caching is less than ideal

At least in English, typographic conventions have historically equated underlining with italics, and the reason the underscore key is present on your keyboard is because it was use…

while at the same time being memory safe. memory safety doesn't mean just one thing, but probably it requires either a lot of rust-like features, a tracing garbage collector, or au…

The cost of the land to the grower is lower on account of the presence of the turbines.

I do not understand why one should use this I don't care to sit through sponsor reads, nothing more to it than that. When I'm viewing on a client that doesn't support sponsorblock,…

That idea of a universal/generic VM supporting many languages has been tried many times, with limited success What wasm is doing is something different than previous efforts. The g…

The surprising behavior was that the child process received the configured signal not when the process that created it exited, but rather when the specific thread that called fork(…

I had a hell of a time a few months ago debugging why my child processes were dying, before learning that PDEATHSIG=9 (don't ask) kills child processes when the thread that created…

I'm quite nearby to Scott in social space, and no, I don't think it's just "never come up." It's a very highly selected scene.

I really appreciate apps that open new windows where it makes sense, but I'm pretty sure the reason it died out is because people started using too many windows for conventional fl…

A goroutine really is implemented as a coroutine though. It's just that without this runtime optimization, there hasn't been a way to interact with them without letting a multithre…

This is an interface that can be implemented in terms of goroutines and channels, but can also be implemented with a lower-overhead scheduler tweak. The article shows how it could …

Kakoune is scripted over IPC, not bash scripts. The configuration language has some built in functionality for embedding bash scripts, and for smaller plugins or one-off personal c…

I see a lot of the pricey functionality they packed into this thing as about making it less onerous to put on. People need to actually decide to put it on to do stuff that they cou…

You can sideload UTM if you sign it with your own developer key, and run VMs with JIT-based acceleration. It’ll sometimes get killed by the OS without much you can do about it thou…

I don’t know the details around this, but it seems like it would be near impossible to get 100% ethical sourcing, because no matter how good your process of vetting suppliers is, a…

It's somewhat youthful internet slang. You'd hear it at the American public highschool I was at 12 years ago.

For anyone price-sensitive, I highly recommend getting the cheapest 88-key hammer-action keyboard you can find and hooking it up to Pianoteq Stage rather than buying a dedicated di…

Well about one time in three that someone mentions "legal weed" in the circles I run in, someone will drop a remark about how there's federalism-themed ambiguity over how legal it …

Wait, wasn't "es4x" the name of the scrapped edition of ecmascript which was decided to be too ambitious and replaced by the much more conservative ES5? Answer: no. That one was br…

Many people map j/k to gj/gk and forget that's not the default behavior.

Singal isn't a bigot. It's not the service to trans people that many people seem to think it is to call anyone who documents unflattering dimensions of trans politics a bigot. Coli…
